On the All-In Podcast, Chamath argued Anthropic's next growth wave sits inside its existing customer base:
- About 10,000 companies pay Anthropic $100K–$1M per year

- He expects the rest to upgrade as Anthropic builds proven use cases to show
A concrete take on how enterprise AI deals shift from experiment budgets to ROI-justified contracts.
